National Republican. (Washington City (D.C.)) 1872-1888, 1887-06-24

The Washington Post yesterday head lines
an editorial, "a Leading Republican Cone"
and under that head tells that "Craig Tol.
liver" the Rowan county (Ky.) desperate,
who was killed Wednesday evening, was q
Republican leader. The dispatches from
Rowan county to-day show that the Martin
Tolliver feud, in which twenty-one men
have been killed in the last three years,
commenced In 1884, when Cook Hum
pbreys, a Republican, was elected sheriff
Of Rowan county and Craig Tolliver said
"No ID Republican should rule over
Rowan county"
OF course the Post will correct It's head
line and have 1t read "a Leading Demo
crat Gone" The sympathy which 1t ex-
pressed for the Republican party over the
death Of Tolliver-a sympathy so warmly
expressed that, we feel confident, the paper
on which 1t was written was watered with
the tears Of the writer, will now have to be
transferred to the Democratic party.
We tender our coincidence to the Pos
and the Democratic party over the loss Of
"a leading Democrat" In these times wheu
the peculiar talents attributed to this great
Democrat are so much needed by hi,
party. Perhaps the Post might get the
department flags half-masted on the day ol
his funeral as a mark of the profound sor
row the party feels. 1t has lost an active
working member--one who. attended the
